Dollhouse lighting - using it in playsets?

[Roadie]

I'm about halfway through making a playset and I was wanting to add a couple of lights but I'm not really sure where to start... the lights I'm wanting need to be sort of 'fluorescent' light shaped... so that I can fix them in a miniature cabinet - like an underneath lighting feature?

Other than dollhouse lights, I've been looking at battery operated LED lights. Something that I can easily hide the wires and battery with though...

I found these on ebay... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-12th-Lighting-4-x-strip-lighting-bulbs-2002-/140874896803?pt=UK_Dolls_House_Miniatures&hash=item20cccc55a3

but I haven't got a clue what else you need for using these bulbs. I've just never used any dollhouse lighting before at all so ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

I would go with the lighting that has its own plug, then it will just plug in to a seperate socket charged by a battery. The bulbs above have to be part of a main circuit system that runs through the dollhouse - much more complicated and expensive. I tried to buy something similar before and struggled. LEDs may be your best bet!

Thanks smiler!! Yeah I think LEDs will be a lot easier (and cheaper) to use! I'm really not very good with electronics anymore. I used to make things back in school but these days I can hardly wire a plug haha! I will see what I can find on ebay. If I get stuck on what else to buy I'll just ask you you seem to know what you're doing with lights!!! x
